As I do every year, I’ll be spending Columbus Day weekend in Cadillac, the small town in Michigan where I was born and grew up. My sister and her husband still live there, and my brother and his wife drive over from London, Ontario, where they live. (I fly, and I’ll be leaving mid-afternoon tomorrow.)

   I won’t be back until late on Tuesday, so of necessity the blog will be quiet until then. And I’m sure it will take me a few days to catch up on everything once I’m back. This current short but scheduled hiatus, in other words, is likely to be followed by a period of scattered and intermittent postings, I’m sorry to say.

   But will I run out of reviews to publish? Books and movies, both old and new? None of the above, and not any time soon, that’s for sure!
